8No one can compare with you among the gods, Lord; No one can accomplish your work.

9All the nations that you have established will come and worship you, my Lord. They will honor your name.

14God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you.

15But you, Lord, are a compassionate God, merciful and patient, with unending gracious love and faithfulness.

15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

16Return to me and have mercy on me; clothe your servant with your strength and deliver the son of your maid servant.

16Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.
